Sawm (Fasting)
Marja
About this chapter
Sawm covers the obligatory fasts of Ramadan, the categories of mufattirat (acts that invalidate a fast), the conditions for a valid fast, and the rulings on qada (making up missed fasts) and kaffarah (expiation).
Recommended fasts — the Ayyam al-Bid, the days before Ashura, and the fasts of Rajab and Sha'ban — are also covered.
